WarmWire® Cable

WarmWire is now built with a tough, water-proof jacket. It costs less than HeatWeave Mat and installs differently. Secure the cable straps to the subfloor and stretch the wire between them. Cover with thin-set or self-leveling mortar and finish with almost any floor covering.

WarmWire is easily sized for any project:

• Evaluate how many square feet of floor are to be heated. Do not put under cabinets or appliances. Generally, about 85–90% of the open areas should be heated. Leave the wire at east 4” away from the toilet wax ring and 4”–6” away from your walls. To keep toes warm, install right up to the toe-kick in front of kitchen or bath cabinets, and in front of a toilet, shower, or tub.
• Choose a “spacing factor” of 2”, 2.5”, or 3” on center.
  Below are guidelines for application and spacing recommendations.
  
  
  • 2” on center = 15 Watts/sq. ft.
    Use on concrete basement slabs, sunrooms, and in other high heat loss areas.
  • 2.5” on center = 12 Watts/sq. ft.
    Use in bathrooms, kitchens, dining/living areas, etc.
  • 3” on center = 10 Watts/sq. ft.
    Use in hallways, entries, low heat loss areas, etc.

  2.5” on center is the most commonly used spacing. This spacing equals the heat output of HeatWeave mats.
